Bloodstains

Bloodstains is the horror thriller that hangs so precariously in the balance between what actually occurred and the seemingly supernatural that the book is indefinable in contemporary literature. More

The shocking tale, based on a true story, of one man's spiritual journey to find his roots, only to discover his direct origins are what nightmares are made of, and his family tree pure evil - Dr. H.H. Holmes, the monster and master of Chicago's Murder Castle! Unable to accept this horrible secret, the author's initial research turns from an eerie fascination into obsession and finally a struggle for his very survival as his inner demons are turned loose while he dances with the devil. Halfway through the book and right up to the terrifying conclusion you'll find yourself asking what would you have done in his place on this unique and compelling voyage to the undiscovered.

I have loaned my original copy of Bloodstains to the first of a long waiting line of friends who love true crime books and are mesmerized by by the human capacity for evil. Mudgett is compelled to research a very personal journey to explore what made his notorious great great,
grandfather tick after he discovered at a late age, a family secret that he was in fact, a descendant of an intelligent, accomplished Dr. who was to become America's first serial killer.

This book is an unrelenting creeper, as Mudgett discovers more about his infamous ancestor. A true odyssey into the heart of darkness.

I heartily thank the author for a great chill-and the fortitude to pursue an ugly past. Mudgett shares everything candidly, and writes as if he is talking to a friend.

Thank you Mr. Mudgett for a really spooky read that kept all my senses on alert for the evil! And up all night!
